Centennial, USA – A deputy with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office rescued a dog hiding under a children’s trampoline in a backyard during a fire that destroyed two homes on April 20.

Deputy Ligon, a School Resource Officer, was the first to arrive at the scene of the fire in the 19700 block of E. Radcliff Pl. After kicking in the front door to search for anyone trapped inside, Ligon turned his attention to the backyard, where he found the dog hiding underneath a children’s trampoline. He quickly brought the animal to safety as the fire raged on.

The fire destroyed two homes, but fortunately, no injuries were reported. Authorities are reminding the public that Arapahoe County is under a Stage 2 Burn Ban due to high fire danger, prohibiting all open burning.

Officials urge residents to follow these fire restrictions to protect the community and first responders.
